I have said before that Sumlin is overrated. If Fedora picks A&M, I would go after Paul Chryst.

Speaking of overrated...the teams Paul has worked for have a combined winning % of 66%. Not that it's all on him but Paul Chryst doesn't excite much either.
It's being reported that Fedora is going to North Carolina.

The problem
UCLA is supposedly talking to the Vest.
Like I said, an even more inept AD than ASU

Or a very shrewd one if Tressel doesn't get hit with a show cause.

I imagine this is the doomsday scenario for Lisa Love since Sumlin is now probably going to A&M. Briles probably won't go to Tempe so that leaves ASU back to the drawing board.UNC > ASU ?
UNC > ASU ?
If you're used to coaching in the South. I didn't think he was ever going to come here because he's never been out West.

Yep...nothing like getting beaten down, getting some false hope, and another backhand. Gotta love it. (no pun intended)
At this point, I'd be taking a chance with a Levitt or Tressel, or try to find a young coordinator to take a shot on. We've painted ourselves in a corner, and need to take a risk.

This has been handled so well! You would think DE was in charge of this search.

Yeah, in my opinion you take a shot at a coordinator because then at least he's not getting paid that much if you need to buy him out. Last thing you need is June Jones or someone like that imploding the program for $3 million per season.
I don't see what the big push back to a coordinator is. Tedford was Oregon's OC. Sarkisian was USC's OC. Whittingham was the DC at Utah before taking over there. Those guys are doing well in the conference. And Bob Stoops was a DC at Florida, same with Dan Mullens except he was OC there before going to their positions.

Yep, pay the big money if the right candidate is available, but considering our options, why hamstring the program out of desperation? I really have a bad feeling about this search process, and the fact that former players are so worried doesn't give me much confidence.

You can't listen to former players either. All they do is recommend their guys like Danny White or Juan Roque or whomever. That's how we almost got Kevin O'Neill let me remind you. Let's be honest, how many ASU Football alumni are actively plugged into college football and recruiting circles? Only those should be listened to, not some active NFL player in Denver or dude who sells insurance and happened to play at ASU a decade ago.

True...I wouldn't necessarily want them involved, but the fact that the uprising vs. June Jones was so universal just points to the fact that we're a rudderless ship now that Sumlin blew us off.
Van Rapp was always in love with Ted Tollner. You speak the truth.

I want to know who Joe Spagnola thinks we should hire. If he's not available, let's get Curley Culp's opinion.

Danny White seems to have been in the ASU doghouse since I can remember after he finished his great career at ASU. I know he is not a candidate for the ASU head coaching position (nor will be) but I often wonder what he did to get pushed out of ASU's little circle of trust. Frank Kush often said he didn't worry much about calling plays when White was the QB because he was like having a coach on the field. Does anyone know where it went wrong?
Danny never wanted to work for the job. He wanted it handed to him without working his way up through the coaching ranks. Not wanting to earn it is not a trait I want in a football coach.
Fedora out = North Carolina.

It's done. The ASU admin just gave their fans the finger in public. It's disgusting.
Even if they thought he was the right guy last week, they should realize that he's going to get zero margin of error from the fans. There's not going to be a honeymoon period. So, even if he had the potential to do well here before (something I doubt), they just set him up to fail
And the final WTF thing, he's one of the most expensive options. We could possibly be giving him $2.5 mil, his buyout is $2 mil and you paid $750,000 to buyout Erickson. That's $5.25 mil for the first year of Jones, aka Erickson 2.0.
